Favorite Online Places To Purchase Tsuba?
Greg F replied to lotus's topic in Auctions and Online Sales or Sellers
Hello Patrick. I dont have a lot of tsuba but I have bought from Aoi, Nihonto Australia, Grey Doffin and my favorite Nmb. Occasionally I grab a cheapish one from ebay to get my fix but one must be careful swimming in that shark infested water. Greg -
Just bumping this up incase anyone missed it and would like to share thdir blade/polish experience with us. Thanks. Greg

My First Waki(40 Year Old Wakizashi Virgin Haha)
Greg F replied to Blazeaglory's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
Dwain if we all did the same with out Nihonto there would be not a lot of preservation going on. And shinto Nihonto are old antiques that deserve respect and preservation. Greg -
Thats nice Stephen , your right the waves stand out. Looks good. Greg

Hi Henry and welcome. Its a very vood idea to buy your first sword here and as Barry said ask questions. Make sure you spend as mu h time as you can looking through this forum and purchase as many books as you can. Its worth looking at member Grey Doffins site (Japanese sword books and tsuba) for great deals. Good luck and enjoy your journey. Greg

Sorry but it definitely looks to be a Chinese copy to me too. Greg

Oh well i missed out. Congrats to the buyers on 3 beautiful tsuba. Greg

I thought of you straight away when I saw these Stephen. Jean all 3 are very nice, I especially love 1 and 3 and if they are still around in a few days I dont think I will be able to resist one of them. Greg

Hi Gareth and welcome. Dave T is a member here, he's your man to ask. He has an amazing wealth of knowledge on the topic. Good luck. Greg

He is lucky to be with you Jean. I had my dog for 16 years and he got to the same stage of not walking. Its not easy i know mate. All the best. Greg

Your right Aoi blade pics make the hada stand out much better than when in hand. Thanks. Greg

Hey Jean I hope Riesling had a nice Birthday. All the best. Greg

Hi Dwain, A friend of mine brought back my set of these miniature armor from Japan and since then ive seen them on ebay also. They do add a nice touch I think. Greg

Alex I see what you mean from the 1st blade pic the lighting does make it look like a bohi. Chears. Greg
-
Alex i dont see the bohi? Always frustrating seeing fingerprints on a blade. Nice find Roman. Greg
-
